Can the United States Afford to Pay its Loans? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
The International Monetary Fund has issued a warning about the potential global repercussions of the rising US government debt. The IMF believes increased borrowing costs could potentially destabilise international financial markets. The IMF attributes this risk to the US's higher government spending and elevated interest rates. Additionally, a recent Congressional Budget Office analysis forecasts that American spending on interest payments will reach $870 billion this year, surpassing the $822 billion allocated for defence in 2024. Palki Sharma tells you more.

Certainly. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are popular for long-term investments due to their diversified nature. ETFs offer exposure to a wide range of assets, such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, which can help reduce risk. Some top choices for long-term investing include broad market index ETFs, sector-specific ETFs, and bond ETFs, as they provide potential for growth and income over an extended period while minimizing the risk associated with individual stocks.

[@philipwong895]

The US national debt is more than $34 trillion, with 22% of it held by foreign entities. The US also has $40 trillion in unfunded Medicare liabilities and $26 trillion in unfunded Social Security liabilities. The US dollar is the dominant reserve currency, backed by its perceived strength, allowing the US to print unlimited dollars as long as the world maintains trust in it. The US dollar is the backbone of US power, and any actions that undermine confidence in the currency threaten to destabilize its position of dominance. Each unilateral sanction imposed by the US risk damaging the stability and credibility of the US dollar, leading to dire consequences for the nation's power and influence. The US is the only country actively undermining the strength of the US dollar. The freezing of Russia's $300 billion currency reserve by Western governments may lead countries to reconsider investing their funds in US Treasury bonds and finding ways to reduce their use of the US dollar. A significant portion of US dollars is held outside the US, estimated at 60-70% of all US dollars in circulation, due to its status as the dominant reserve currency and wide use in international trade and finance. The one trillion dollar trade deficit of the US is a consequence of being the reserve currency, as a strong dollar makes it difficult for US businesses to export goods and services while simultaneously making it easier for other countries to sell to the US. Countries are expending resources and labor making goods and shipping them to the US in exchange for green pieces of paper. The US is sending back mostly empty containers. The US budget deficit is $1.7 trillion in 2023 which must be paid for by selling more Treasury bonds. The interest on this debt is greater than the military budget. To pay the interest on its debt, the government sells more Treasury bonds, leading to a cycle of increasing debt. The US printing of dollars has been exporting inflation in other countries for decades, but will eventually increase US inflation. Raising interest rates to fight inflation decreases consumer and business spending, increases the trade deficit, and higher interest payments on government debt. Other countries will respond to the US raising of interest rate by raising their interest rate, risking global recession. The Plaza Accord addressed this issue in the past, but it will be challenging to implement such measures now. A well-run country collects taxes to fund essential services and infrastructure. In the US political system, wealthy corporations and individuals can lobby for tax breaks. The shortfall in funding for the US government has reached $34 trillion. Instead of collecting taxes from wealthy corporations and individuals, the government pays interest to them. Banks hold Treasury bonds for their safety, liquidity, regulatory compliance, and potential profitability. When interest rates on Treasury bonds rise sharply, the decrease in bond values reduces liquidity and makes it harder for banks to raise cash quickly. This causes depositors to lose confidence, triggering a bank run. In response to the current bank run, the government is issuing Treasury bonds to raise funds to compensate depositors for any lost funds. There are $19 trillion in deposits in US banks. The estimated unrealized loss on US banks' financial assets is $1.94 trillion, while the total size of their equity is $2.1 trillion. SVB had taken a $15 billion loss, while their capital is $16 billion. Around 2,315 of the 4,800 banks are currently sitting on assets worth less than their liabilities. It's a systemic issue. A similar issue is being played out with risker Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) valued at $12 trillion. The new Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) helps prevent discounted bondholders from taking losses when they have to sell them urgently. The BTFP accepts discounted bonds at face value to be used as pledges for loans to inject more money into the economy. Risking more inflation. It's a Ponzi scheme. Ponzi scheme cannot taper. We reached the can and there is no more road.

Any government has three options - (1)issue for government bonds (2) decrease spending and increase earnings through taxes (3) print more money. Earlier, they used to print a lot of money when their inflation was low and they could get away for decades. Now this option of printing money is not there at least until the inflation is out of control. So they have to increase borrowing. Once or if the inflation is under control or inflation is transferred to the other countries then they will be back to printing money. It seriously affects other countries like India too. The best way is de-dollarization. Minimize your dependence on US dollar. Then US will collapse if no one is interested in US dollar.

Democracy political system encourages leaders to be populist. Leaders will outbid each other to give goodies to the "people" or rather top 1%. As a realist, the US debts will NEVER comes down until something break. The denominator, i.e., the US GDP of USD28 trillion is a boosted number by money printing or debts. When the bubble bursts, the US economy should fall back to the G7 average of USD45k per capita or $14.85T. And with a debt of $34T, the debt ratio will be 34/14.85 = 229%. This will be apocalypse.
